Perceptions

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. ~Anaïs Nin

As hard as we may try to be objective, its near impossible to see the world without wearing the glasses of our perceptions. We view the world through our experiences, emotions, and personality.

Empathy can teach us to stretch ourselves. To put ourselves in another's world. But until you experience that pain for yourself, you won't truly feel it.
